Hey beauty! I’m Melissa—the hands (and usually windblown hair) behind The Capes Mane.
I’ve been styling brides for over a decade—way back before Pinterest boards and Instagram inspo took over. Born and raised on Cape Cod, I now spend my days chasing weddings, waves, and two little beach babes with my husband by my side.

​

I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of your wedding journey. Your big day is one of the most unforgettable moments of your life, and my goal is to make sure you feel radiant, confident, and completely at ease.

​

From your first inquiry to the final hairpin, I’ve created a process that’s seamless and stress-free—so you can focus on soaking up every magical second. Whether you’re dreaming of boho braids, romantic waves, classic elegance, or an effortless glow-up, I’m here to bring your vision to life with skill, care, and a little hairstyling magic.

​

When I’m not hopping from one beautiful bride to the next, you’ll probably find me at the beach… or Target… or let’s be real—the beach then Target, because balance.

I’d love to say I show up to every wedding looking like this polished version of myself—but truthfully? I’m more of a stylish hot mess, armed with bobby pins, hair spray, and a venti iced coffee I’ll 100% forget where I put.

​

But here’s the thing—your bridal stylist should be more than just someone who does great hair. You deserve someone calm, reliable, and truly invested in making your morning smooth, joyful, and full of good vibes. That’s exactly what I bring to the table (well, to the bridal suite).
